The wages of farming are small.

the wolf from the door.

and should be so operated.

his opportunity.
No farmer, unless compelled by financial
forced by lack of facilities to hold his crop,
less than it cost to produce it.
Any marketing plan adequate to meet the situation must; county,
give the producer the full benefits of its advantages.
The real problem of the farmer is how to sell his prod-
ucts.
The farmer should take all uncertainty out of securities
before applying for a loan.
The city men ran render U3 the greatest service by help-
ing find new markets and in regulating the present ones.
It is only in extending, enlarging and creating avenues
of distribution and co-ordinating supply with demand that
we can build up the farm.
Behind all successful farming lies, not only a fundamen-
tal philosophy, but an undeviating routine of system.
The savage had no sense of ownership, and today some
of the traits of primitive man are reflected in our rural
population.

to reduce the high cost of
living in your home?
Are you providing every
safeguard—in other words,

lection of your groceries?
Do you wish to increase

Millions for feedstuffs
The farmers of I cxau do not
raise enough cereals and forage
crops for their own farm animals.
I'hey expend, according to n re-
cent census report issued by ihe
federal department of commerc:
and labor, $10,800,000 annually
for feed stuff. The official figures
show that 27 per cent of the farm-
ers buy feed.
Peter Radford, president cf the
Farmers Union, in discussing the
subject, said: "A farmer, should a3
a rule, raise hiw own feed. While
cotton is our money crop and the
moisture repuirements of cotton
and cereals are in a measure antag-
onistic, and nature usually favors
cotton, yet a farmer should plant
enough feed to take his stock
through the season."
The farmers of Van Zandt coun-
ty expend $42,876 annually for
feed-stuffs; I 107 of the farmers of
this county report purchases of
feed-stuffs and the annual expend-
iture per farms reporting is $38.
By proper diversification of crops
this money can be kept at home.
